there's something about how the female voice is being subtly mimicked and mocked here too, i think...some of the replies as written are i think meant to be self-deprecating to the author but come off the other way a bit.

this has little to do with the quality of the piece, I admit, but just the sheer arrogance of it, how women are called clingy bitches if they even so much as think about contacting an ex once or, like, go to an event in their neighborhood or whatnot

Could you imagine being an adult media professional and either having or pretending someone is in your phone as "ex-bae" even jokingly

If only there was an embraceable anthem, akin to those of NWA and Public Enemy of yesteryear. I remember during the Rodney King riots realizing everything Ice-T said was right. But now that Trumpās in office and white man power is at its zenith, I canāt point to one hip-hop song that nails it.
if only there were a song that told Donald Trump to fuck off...

itās become self-referential, kinda like metal. You canāt understand todayās metal unless you listened to decades of it before.

When I was standing in line to validate a parking ticket after American Hustle, āPretty Hurtsā was stuck in my head, and I couldnāt get it out, even after sitting in a theater honed in on another piece of media for nearly three hours. Those are the moments that matter, and they never happen immediately. Thatās how I was proven wrong.

I've liked a lot of Everett True's writing through the years, not such a fan now he's dismissing music on the grounds of being made by a "beardy ginge". It's almost enough to make me try listening to Ed Sheeran.
